| Situated well of the beaten track in a spectacular position above the River Usk, this charming country house hotel offers log fires, a sunny terrace, locally sourced food and plenty of walking routes in the surroundings. Placed between the 2 market towns of Abergavenny and Brecon in the valley of the River Usk, this family-run establishment sits just south of the A40.
Set in the middle of the Brecon Beacon's National Park, the hotel has a stunning location, with spectacular views of its own grounds and the River Usk.
With delicious cuisine and friendly, efficient service Gliffaes is the ideal base for exploring the magical Brecon Beacons National Park and walking through the countryside and surrounding hills.
You may wish for nothing more than a lazy lunch in the sunny conservatory with a bottle of wine, followed by a walk along the river and afternoon tea. Then, round off the day with a drink by the fire.
Set within 33 acres of grounds and boasting 23 individually decorated en suite rooms and 2.5 miles of fishing, Gliffaes is one of Wales's best kept secrets. Hidden off the beaten track in between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains, the house is hidden among old trees and spacious lawns and boasts a commanding view of the River Usk.
